Houston Community Data Connections (HCDC)

Mission

HCDC seeks to facilitate the practical use of data by city and community leaders for decision-making and capacity building in Houston's disadvantaged communities.

Through the support of the Houston Endowment, the Kinder Institute for Urban Research now serves as a local data intermediary and HCDC will provide the following data and research services to the community:

Basic training on how to use data and technology to improve data literacy;

Community outreach support to facilitate convenings of our partners.

We are a member of the National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership, which is a collaboration between the Urban Institute and local partners in 30 cities to further the development and use of neighborhood-level information systems for community building and local decision-making.

HCDC is supported by the Houston Endowment, a private philanthropic institution that works across the community for the benefit of the people of greater Houston.
